About the Diamond Classic Weekend
Firethorne Country Club
The Diamond Classic is a weekend built around an annual charity golf open, established to support Safe Alliance and its mission to provide hope and healing for those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault. The weekend carries on the tradition of charitable giving within the Queen City’s golf community with proceeds going directly to help a population in crisis through the lifesaving services provided by the Safe Alliance Domestic Violence Shelter. The Diamond Classic Golf Open will be held on June 24th.
Golf tournament ticket prices range from $110 for individuals and $400 per foursome. In addition to supporting Safe Alliance, each golfer will receive an event shirt, golf glove, commemorative golf balls, discounted membership to the Charlotte Golf League, and a complimentary beginner’s workout program for golfers. We hope you will join us in making this exciting new fundraiser a huge success
